this comment is 8 years old and it still is a hard agree. Like, everybody is going vegan now and you see people talking about it everywhere😆

[@dontnoable]

@@lauchalz1 Yes! That opening commentary from Delia was foreshadowing for real. We are in the middle of a war and climate crisis induced global shortage of grain to feed humans. Why on earth are we continuing to breed more animals? "Next time you hear about food insecurity caused by disruptions in global grain markets, think about this. Cycling grain through animals, which metabolize >90% of it rather than convert to meat, is the most inefficient conceivable use of grain for ultimately creating human food." I'm vegan for the (farmed) animals, but there are so many other reasons like the human cost too.

I'd blame UK culture's historic allergy to seasoning food! No human gets hungry looking at a living lamb. Or gazing upon a lamb twitching, 'freshly' slaughtered (hence why the vegan ad was banned from UK TV recently after airing once, showing a dead cow's face).

[@rasputozen]

Try just going vegan, it's not much difference. Get a d3 + b12 supplement from amazon. Next time you're at the market try a new vegetable you've never tried before that looks interesting. Try it raw, try it roasted, try it steamed. You really expand your food horizons that way. Always find the ways to make cooking easier for yourself. If you do cooking right it will be easy and effortless. Get some flax or poppy seeds (whole) and either a mortar and pestle or coffee grinder and sprinkle a bit of them ground over whatever you make for all the omega3's you could need. Eating plant-based can have all the flavor and healthfulness you want. The only limitation is your experience and imagination. A grain like rice and a bean such as lentils or chick peas or kidney beans is a good staple to make up 50-75% of your meals. Learn to soak and cook dried beans. You'll get plenty of protein if you eat this way. There's so many options for food ideas. I eat sliced avocado on toast with chopped lekk (sort of like a milder onion) and flax seeds a couple times a week. It has a similar satisfaction to egg salad to me. I could talk endlessly about this but it's a bit much in a comment. Keep learning and exploring. Find some vegan cooking channels that connect with you. Above all HAVE FUN with it! Cooking is a joy for me. And I only spend ~$150/mo eating all the fresh fruit, veg and grains I could want. There's no reason it can't be that way for you too!

[@soundseeker63]

Vegetarian cooking has come on leaps and bounds since this was filmed especially in the last 10 years or so, and it's now easy to eat out if you are a vegetarian, whereas it was difficult or even impossible to do so back then. There are so many good books out there and vast resources for delicious veggie recipies right here on youtube. I went veggie in 2015 and don't regret a single minute of it. :-)

[@warrenbridges1891]

Nellie S Make sure you get plenty of essential fats like olive, coconut and avocado oil. Even butter is fantastic if you're only going vegetarian. These reduce your need for carbohydrates as an alternative energy source. Too many carbs lead to T2 diabetes and inflammation which prompts LDLs to deposit plaque on your arteries. Stay away from processed seed oils high in Omega 6s. Also a cause of inflammation.

@MarquisNoir78 True but if you choose to be a vegetarian for ecological reasons (amongst others of course) you should always focus on local products. I am of course prejudiced against soy because I have an intolerance (probably developed it by eating too much of it in my early twenties) and I think it's overused in vegetarian food. The last time I chose "vegetarian" on a plane I was given a tofu steak, mashed potatoes and a muffin, both containing soy milk. Frustrating!

If you're prioritising ecological reasons, vegan (in terms of food/clothing etc.) is the way to go. 13 dairy firms emit the same greenhouse gas emissions as the whole of the UK.

Kate Bush is beautiful in every way, and good for her for being a vegetarian. I am guessing a vegetarian diet is far more healthy than one packed with red meat, which causes far more health problems than carbohydrates.

[@warrenbridges1891]

newts Last That theory has been completely debunked. Nothing causes more problems than carbohydrates. Whilst excessive protein may induce an insulin spike, moderate levels and saturated fat, are the only macro nutrients which have absolutely no effect on insulin levels. High carb diets as an alternative energy source to fat, is a short wide road to T2 Diabetes. Carbohydrates = sugar and inflame all parts of the body. Including arteries, which depend in the short term on cholesterol deposited plaque for immediate protection. Remove sugar/carbohydrates and all of your problems are solved. I was a vegan. I'm now on a high fat, moderate protein (plus all my veggies) diet. I've not only lost 25 kg, I'm building muscle, I only need one meal a day and I'm over 2 years older than Kate. If you've seen Kate recently, you'll find that a vegetarian diet, along with the necessary carbs to provide energy, has done her no favours. I still love her though.

It's important people understand what veganism is as well. It's not a diet! It's a philosophy about eliminating - as far as is possible and practicable - the exploitation of animals. So anyone can be vegan! It's inclusive by definition. I get that there can be a journey to eliminating animal products, but I think that's different to advocating for vegetarianism which like you say is a daft place to stop when veganism is probably more aligned with the values of someone moved to go veggie cause of the unnecessary suffering of animals for food!

Sorry but none of these vegetarian dishes look inviting at all. Instead of the "non meat loaf" why not go for a nice lentil stew with bread dumplings? And instead of the boring cooked vegetables and the bland brown rice, what's wrong with a nice mushroom risotto or vegetables fried in olive oil with mozzarella or halloumi? And about the soy sauce (or tofu), did you know it's killing the rain forest? Why not just eat normal food and leave out the meat?

[@dontnoable]

*big sigh* the biggest drive of Amazon destruction for soy is for animal feed and grazing. Well over 96% of soy from the Amazon region is fed to cows, pigs and chickens eaten around the world, according to data from the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, says Poore. Furthermore, 97% of Brazilian soy is genetically modified, which is banned for human consumption in many countries and is rarely used to make tofu and soya milk in any case. Soya milk also has much smaller emissions and land and water use than cow’s milk. If you are worried about the Amazon, not eating meat remains your best bet.

Maybe it's the film quality since it's old, but those dishes look revolting.

Delia totally overthought her cooking and it looks awful. At least they got a vegetarian in to show what we actually eat (vegetables!) which look pretty yum.

New TV is just stupid though. I mean who needs a reality TV show about people on a coach trip, or people who run B & B's or house guests or whatever? I'm surprised that Come Dine With Me is as good and funny as it is actually but oh well at least there's one!

Obviously it's not so small if it needs two replies in one go (or was it three?) Like your "parody", your posts are too long and laboured, and fail to make any coherent point. Quoting from movies you've seen doesn't improve things either.

It's not enough to express your views by re-writing the original lyrics of a song. A parody has to be funny as well.
